Hello lovelies, happy Monday, Cyber Monday! ;) Anyone find any good deals today? I am probably going to order some top coat, nothing to exciting but very important! Oh and maybe some Colourpop! I have recently started using them and well love what I have and well now I need more! ;) Well maybe not need but would like! ;) Haha!! Besides nails I do love some makeup too! So on to nails! Today I have the first penguin nail art of the season which makes me so happy!

Press Sample

Next up is Mauve Over which is a really nice mauve! This is the last swatch actually and I can say this one and Stargazing Royalty are my 2 favorites. This one for sure because it is a one coater and one coasters are amazing! :) However just a heads up if you are wondering, these polishes do not work for the drop manis. You know where you drop the polish and it spreads. Ya doesn't work to well I found out. They are a bit to thick and it just turned into a mess! :(

Here we have 2 coats of Murray Me. This color is a nice creamy color and looking at it in person on my nails I feel like there is a hint of pink. When first applying it I was a bit nervous because it seemed really thick and seemed to be above the nail instead of on the nail. I know that may sound weird but you know when you look at your nail from the side and see the polish above your nails that is what I mean. Which I wasn't really liking. After 2 coats it was like that but I decided  to give it time before I wrote this review, and I am glad I did because after I let it set and dry and add top coat on it seemed to go down or at least become how I would expect.

Also I used their Kur top coat. It gives a very nice gel like top coat look. I wore it all of yesterday as well and it doesn't seem to have any shrinkage, yet it does seem to get scuffs like you would on something super shiny. Which is kind of funny.

I have a full tutorial up on YouTube for this look and I will have that linked closer to the end of the post! :) Even though it is a topper one coat did give nice and even glitter as well so I will have to show you that in another look soon!

After everything I topped it off with their Kur Protective top coat. So far I am liking it. Application wise it reminds me a bit of Essie's Gel Shine Top coat but this one is actually easier to work with so that is good in my opinion! Next up is the tutorial! Here are some tips for using vinyls! 

Before using any vinyl top your nail with a quick dry top coat. I use Seche Vite and I love it. After that is dried you peel your vinyl off your sticker sheet, now somethings not everything stays on the paper that is supposed too so if you still have part of stencil left in the vinyl, I would suggest flipping over your sticker sheet and applying it to the back and pull it back up and all of the places that were open before should be open now. Next apply to your nail, and paint on top, or sponge on and then peel vinyl off. If any tidying needs done you shall do that now and then top with your favorite top coat and you are now done. :)

Well I hope you all enjoyed this post and hopefully the tutorial as well! Have a wonderful day guys, talk to y'all soon! To find this polish near you or order online click HERE.

Hey there everyone, so I think we can all agree that it's officially the Christmas shopping season! All the stores are decorated, the gift sets are out and this Friday is Black Friday, then you have small business Saturday this weekend as well, plus it's Thanksgiving week which means after that it's ok to decorate! Today for you I have some fun gift ideas you all can look for that would be perfect for any beauty lover, or yourself! ;)

Last week we actually went out and went to Ulta and Sephora and some other places to get some ideas of exactly what is out there. Shopping online is great yet sometimes it is just nice to shop in an actual store so in this post there will be a variety of in store items and or online items. now lets start making lists of what ya'll may want to look for.

www.zoya.com

First up I am going to starts with some great Zoya deals. As you all know I am a big Zoya fan, and have been for awhile. Chances are if you are reading this you already know about Zoya but if not... Zoya is a vegan 5 Free polish, and is a great quality polish. This year if you are wanting to try out Zoya or gift Zoya to someone here are some great options. If you have a Ulta in stores there is a buy two get one deal going on which I always love. One great tip if you are going to do that is while you are in Ulta or before you go out pull up Ultas website and get the $3.50 of $10 and use that along with the deal. I know I am all about getting good deals and every little bit helps right. :) Actually to make this super easy for you HERE is a link to the coupon. If you are reading this on your phone you can screen shot the coupon and they will accept it in store! :) Also in Ulta there are some Zoya gift packs. There are little gift sets that come with 3 mini Zoyas along with a lipstick and they have a few different color options for this set. They can be found at Ulta and also on Zoyas website for $18. HERE is a link to Zoyas site and a preview look below. In stores I saw a red combo, berry combo and a nude combo but online I only see these two.

Another great deal Zoya has going on right now is the Dream Box! There are 3 different ways of doing the dream box so lets look at that! First there is the Dream Box Trio, which is a premade trio of 3 full size polishes. To see the premade options check that out HERE. There are some really pretty options. These trios even come with a little tutorial for you using those polishes. This trio is typically $25 but right now they are running a Black Friday sale and if you use the promo code DEALS it will only be $20. 

I did mention that there are 3 levels of the dream boxes and I have to say that these next two seem great. The next one up from the trio is a Build Your Own Dream Box 6 piece set, and it is only $30 and comes with free shipping. You can find this deal HERE. Typically 6 Zoya Polishes no promo would be $54 so this is a great deal! Plus if you think about it you could order this and split it among those who you are shopping for and keep one for yourself! ;)

Now one more step up from that is another Build Your Own Dream Box 12 piece set, and that is $50 plus free shipping and normally valued at $108, Literally that is more than half off and a great deal, and a lot of polish. You can find the info for this set HERE.

So those are the great Zoya deals for this season. The Dream Box prices will only be this way for this week since it is a Black Friday promotion.

Hey ya'll hope you are having a lovely Wednesday, and I bet you are all excited that tomorrow is Thanksgiving day!! Food, and the parade oh and the pecan pie! Yummmmm!!!! Today for you guys I have teamed up with LaLaLovenailart via IG! I always love her work and we got to talking the other day about the clothes at the AMAs, and well it turned into nails!

Polish wise I used Zoya Sailor as my navy nails! The white is Urban Outfitters Optic white. Then the details were done with acrylic paint and then I decided to add glitter to the blue and for that I dotted Zoya Dream on top of the navy blue stripes. Super easy and really completed the stripe look I think!

Hey ya'll! So easing into the holiday art today I have some girly snow flakes for ya, along with a tutorial too so that is pretty exciting. It may be the last tutorial for the next few days because I have some detailed art in mind for the next couple of days. :) Anywhooo, let's start up now!

Super simple yet fun look! Now here is the tutorial for y'all!

Hey ya'll! Hope you had a nice weekend! I want to apologize for my lack of posts on IG this weekend, they all kind of when at once and I just got behind! Saturday night I was out of town and then weather put things later and so by the time I could post it was like super late or shall I say early! Anywhooo, I am catching up over there today so! :D Today for ya I have used Twinkled T's Awareness Ribbon vinyls and created another pancreatic cancer awareness look. Some of you may remember I did a Free handed ribbon last week! In case you missed it, check it out here. 

Hey ya'll! Hope you are having a nice weekend! Today's post is super simple, yet it's the perfect look! I don't know about you but when I know I am going out for a special event I obviously want my nails to look nice. Sometimes I want to have a special polish on so I can think about that polish and be like oh I wore that polish when, or I will want a certain polish that will match my outfit, and or art. In this case last night I just wanted a super pretty polish. I had considered art but I wasn't feeling it, I had to many things on my mind such as what to wear, and other things that go through your head pre concert so I just used ILNP Hush(H). Which is probably one of the coolest polishes ever, the slightest bit a movement and it's like a complete other color! I love it so much! Ok now enough blabbing and on to the color!! ;)

Hello there everyone! Hope you are having a fabulous Saturday, when you all are reading this I will be getting ready for a day out with with my best friends so this Saturday shall be great, and full of fun beauty related and music related! ;) Now for today's post I have a then and now look. The other night when I sat down to paint I was just lacking ideas and had no creative juices flowing at all. Since that was the case and yet I knew I wanted to play with my new brushes I decided to recreate one of my nail designs I did in January pre the blog even opening! So first I will show you today and then take you all the way back to early January! :D

I really do love a tribal mani though. There is just something about them that I always love. I hope to maybe work on a Christmasy one. What do you all think of that idea?
